Act 5 - The Rival Idol
39-1 Halloween Live Concert
Time passes, and before I know it, the day of the Halloween Live Concert comes.
The outdoor venue is filled to the brim with people as far as the eye can see.
Even though winter is approaching, the air here is burning with excitement and energy.
"MilleSta really is as popular as always. The crowd density here is insane." (Yukio)
Next to me, Inaba Yukio looks impressed at the sheer number of people.
Truth is, this is my first time attending a live concert as just a regular audience member.
Honestly, I can’t help but feel uneasy.
That’s why I asked Yukio to come along with me.
As my best friend, he’s one of the few who know about my connection to MilleSta.
Given that, both in terms of relationship and trust, it goes without saying that I rely on him more than ever now.
By the way, the girls even prepared Yukio’s ticket too.
It seems to be their way of repaying him for helping out during that whole Tenguuji incident.
Though that trouble happened mostly because of me.
But the fact that they think of it as their own problem makes me both happy and a little embarrassed.
"Since it’s a Halloween Live, I see a lot of people in cosplay too." (Yukio)
"Yeah. I heard this live is themed around that. MilleAta also prepared Halloween-style costumes in addition to their usual ones." (Rintaro)
I don’t know the details, so I can only imagine… Maybe Kanon as a little witch, and Mia as a Dracula. That would suit them.
As for Rei… hmm, maybe Frankenstein?
She has that vague and absentminded aura about her sometimes.
"Man, my heart’s racing… I mean, I’ve never even been to a regular live concert before, let alone a special one like this. But you’ve gone once, right, Rintaro?" (Yukio)
"As a staff guest, I have. Last time I saw them, the crowd went so wild it left me speechless… the call-and-response just kept coming." (Rintaro)
Call-and-response is, simply put, when the audience shouts back a set phrase in response to the artist’s call.
The sense of unity it created across the whole venue was overwhelming.
I was not usually one to raise my voice, but in moments like that, I couldn’t help it.
"Wow… so they might do that again today? I actually practiced a lot of MilleSta songs for this day." (Yukio)
"You went that far?" (Rintaro)
"Of course! They gave me a ticket after all, so I want to enjoy it to the fullest." (Yukio)
It’s a little surprising how enthusiastic Yukio is about this.
Of course, in a good way.
There aren’t many people who are this much fun to invite along
――――While we’re chatting, I realize that it’s almost time for the show to begin.
The lights illuminating the large stage change, and a hush of anticipation falls over the crowd.
The sun has already set, and in the dim dusk, three lights, red, blue, and yellow, shine brightly.
Each one illuminates the figures of the girls.
[――――One, two.] (Rei)
With Rei’s usual shout, the opening song begins, it's their debut song, practically Milsta’s signature.
That is a song packed with all of their charm that makes your heart dance just by listening.
As their voices blend together, the venue explodes with excitement.
(Watching them like this… they really are amazing.)
Suppressing the shiver of excitement running through me, I let out a wry smile.
I'm really living under the same roof with people who can drive a crowd this wild, huh.
Part of me feels the weight of it, but another part feels a strange pride.
Still, this only happens because they say they need me.
If I don’t provide support worthy of that, I’ll lose my place by their side.
"I’ve gotta put in even more effort from here on out…" (Rintaro)
Firming up my resolve, I decide to devote myself fully to enjoying today’s live concert.
[Everyone! Thank you so much for coming today!] (Kanon)
"""Whooooooooaaaaa!!"""
With Kanon’s shout, a roar rises from the crowd.
The sheer volume shakes my eardrums, yet strangely, it doesn’t feel unpleasant.
On the contrary, it makes me want to shout along with them, and before I know it, I’m already caught up in this mysterious sense of unity.
[Did everyone come in cosplay today?] (Kanon)
"We did!"
When Kanon continues calling out to the crowd, a female fan with dog ears shouts back at her.
That little exchange sparked a ripple of laughter throughout the venue.
[Ahaha! Thanks! Everyone, make sure to enjoy yourselves today, okay? If you don’t… I’ll have to play a trick on you!] (Kanon)
"""Whooooooooaaaaa!!"""
Kanon winks mischievously, and another wave of cheers erupts.
Some people even clasp their hands together as if they’re praying to her.
At this point, it’s practically a religion.
[Kanon, let’s get changed already. Since there are so many fans who have gone through the trouble of dressing up for us.] (Mia)
[You’re right! Everyone, just wait a sec, okay? Come on, Rei, let’s go!] (Kanon)
[Kay.] (Rei)
The girls grab at their outfits.
In the blink of an eye, their costumes flutter, and their appearances change.
[Ta-dah!]
I have no idea what kind of trick that is, but somehow, the three of them are already dressed in Halloween costumes.
Kanon is a little witch.
Her short skirt and thigh-highs leave the irresistible gap of exposed thigh so-called "absolute territory" that naturally draws my eyes.
The big pointed hat she wears on her head is also stunningly adorable.
Mia is a Dracula.
Her outfit is a suit and cape, modest and formal, with little skin exposed.
But the tight pants emphasize her striking figure, and the fake fangs glinting as she smiles only heighten her allure.
So far, my guesses were spot on.
But Rei, the last one, completely defies my expectations.
She wears a pure white dress.
It's likely a doll costume.
Her natural beauty blends perfectly with the eerie, fragile charm of a doll.
At that moment, it feels as if there had never been a person named Otosaki Rei at all, just a living doll standing before us――――.
If someone had told me that, I may have believed it, seeing her as she is now.
That’s how overwhelming her presence feels.
[For the next song, let’s go with the perfect one for Halloween.] (Mia)
[Yeah! Here we go! "Halloween Party"!] (Kanon)
Orange lights, resembling glowing pumpkins, flood the venue.
With cheers rising again, the girls resume their performance in full Halloween cosplay.
